I'm back with more input, last page Tasuku asks a direct question, "But... could you have even be able to run away from her?", there might be a better phrasing but the gist is that, Shia makes it sound like she decided not to run away (you know, so she could be the more mature of the two and be open to dialogue) and then he asks her if she was even able to run away to begin with.

If I got that right, you're saying to replace the actual "But... You could have run away from that one, right?" with something like "But... Would've you even been able to run away?".

Yes, the nuance is that like always Tasuku doesn't mince his words and is just straight out pointing that he didn't believe she was capable of running away even is she wanted to.

I don't think you can shorten "Would you have..." to "Would've you...". Also, "Could you have" already emphasises possibility and capability, no need to go with "Would you have been able to...".
If you want something shorter to fit in the speech bubble, "[If you had decided to run away from her,] Could you even have outran her?" might do the trick.

Perhaps it should be "Would you've even been...", but as far as rules and grammar goes I think that one's correct too.
If I were to write "Would you have..." a more correct structure would be "Would you even have...".

"Would you have even" and "Would you even have" are both grammatically correct and mean the same thing, just a matter of minor nuance.
"Would you have been able to" and "Could you have" are also both grammatically correct but they imply different things. The "would have" version focuses on the event wherein the ability is present, whereas the "could have" version questions the innate possibility of the capability.

With both bubbles "But... You could have ran away then?" might be the best way to put it.
In the south we say "Would'ya've" with two syllables

Hahah, that initial thought experiment, where he's suddenly realizing the next step to expressing your feelings is supposed to be starting to date the other person... And realizing, finally, that his straightforward approach would just make her run away.
He's learning. He still hasn't quite grasped why she keeps running (she gets flustered and can't face her own feelings), but he's understanding the cause-effect relation between what he says and what she does.
And then the drama related to chapter 12 hits, which turns out to not actually be drama. Positive growth for a character we only saw the one time, which might spur on some positive growth for our main pair.
After Shia does some more running and hiding, for now, from Tasuku. She's nothing if not predictable in her avoiding of her feelings.
Also, yes, I've done research on marriage laws in Japan a few times because of stories mentioning engagements between minors. A boy has to be 18, and a girl has to be 16, at bare minimum, it sounded like, so long as there's permission from a parent or guardian. Without permission, they both have to be 20, from what I recall..? Or maybe it's just for the girl, I dunno. I know ToniKawa (at least the anime- haven't started reading the manga) opened with the male lead being 18 and the female lead was (physically) 16 and had written permission from her legal guardian to allow the marriage between the two in the first episode.
